1 Samuel 7:2

Peti itu tetap tersimpan di Kiryat Yearim selama dua puluh tahun. Selama waktu itu seluruh umat Israel meratap dan berseru meminta tolong kepada TUHAN, karena sudah lama Dia membiarkan Israel dijajah oleh bangsa Filistin.

And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
